FABRIC AND PROCESS OF MAKING THE SAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,170, dated August5, 1884.

Application filed January 14, 1884.

I0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, SALLY M. LEVY and Anorrrr J. SEDMIHRADSKY, both ofMilwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of Wisconsin,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fabrics and Processof Making the Same; and we do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof.

Our invention relates to the covering or lining of fabrics; and itconsists in a process by which such covering or lining is secured to thefabric, as well as in the lined or covered fabric as a new article ofmanufacture.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the lined or covered side of ourfabric. Fig. 2 is a section showing the stitches by which the lining issecured to its backing. Fig. 3 is a perspective View with a section oflining parted to sh ow the stitches; and Figs. 4 and 5, are detailsillustrating stages in the process, but with the lining omitted toexpose the stitches. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of a portion of amachine for forming the stitches with the fabric in place; and Fig. 7 isa view of a presserfoot provided with a cutting-blade, forming part ofthe machine.

In the drawings, w is the base or fabric to which the lining or coveringis to be applied. a is the lining, and m are the stitches by which thelining is secured in place.

"We have made a machine by which our process is carried out, for whichwe have secured a patent dated February 12, 1884, and numbered 293,478,and in the drawings of the pres ent case we have shown what we deemsufficient of this machine to explain our process by. The fabric, :0, tobe lined is carried over and under a work-arm, G, that presents it insuccessive folds to an inclined needle, (7*, and the lining material a"is coiled about a tapering thimble, m", which holds the coils up tightlyagainst the backing as the needle carries the stitching-thread downthrough the surface of thebacking and imposition to be caught by alooping-hook, N, and as the coils are attached successively, the linedfabric is carried by the feed-wheel G under the workarm, and comes outcompletely lined. The

(No model.)

cloth, as before stated, is presented to an inclined needle insuccessive folds, and therefore the thread by which the lining issecured to it passes through but one surface of the,

cloth; hence by our process we are enabled to produce a fabric which hasa lining firmly scparts of the machine similarly lettered and describedat length in the prior application liereinbefore referred to. What weclaim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1. Themethod of covering fabrics with loops of yarn or analogous material, ashereinbefore described-viz., placing the cover- 1 ing material in auniform succession of loops upon the fabric to which it is to beattached, and securing the two together by means of an independentstitching-thread, which enters the fabric and passes out of it on oneand the same side.

2. The method of covering fabrics with loops of yarn or analogousmaterial, as hereinbefore described-via, folding the fabric to becovered back upon itself horizontally with the adjacent horizontalsurfaces separated or held apart, and with the upper half of theconnecting folded end or edge arranged in the arc of a circle the chordof which is diagonal to the horizontal layers of the body of the fabric,placing continuous loops of the covering material upon the said foldedend or edge of the fabric, and securing the covering material to thefabric by an independent stitching-thread, which fastens each loop ofthe covering material to the fabric independently, and which stitchesappear on one side only of the said fabric.

3. A fabric consisting of a solid backing in the county of Milwaukee andState of VVisconsin, in the presence of two Witnesses.
